Sooooooo... is it technically a nooner if it starts when you wake up and ends when you go out to lunch? Hm, kinda rhetorical question, I guess.

Time to go do some more design work. Whee!

Belnick's so sweet. He's mowing the lawn for me. I picked up sticks and pinecones, though...

Hopefully the migraine will be gone by the weekend. Ugh, I hate 'em. I think this one's pollen-fed :P

Time to get cracking for other stuff tonight, even though it's one of those evenings where the TV is calling our names with its siren song. Mmm, TV and a warm couch. *sigh* oh well, off to the trenches ;)

Need to mow the damned lawn. But I've got some design projects to finish first, or at least get far enough in so I'm not freaking about them in a couple days. It seems the Pasqueflower's showy reign is over for the spring. Nine blooms. Can you imagine?

Cleaning the basement has become an archaelogical dig. Now all I need is a bullwhip and a fedora, and I'd be... a crazy art chick with a bullwhip and a fedora, I guess ;)

The cat appears to be guiding herself by echolocation, she won't stop yowling, day or night, unless she's eating or sleeping. But then again, she's old enough to vote, not just in cat years, so it's understandable.

Well, I've got a spread of Fajitas to make and bring in for Belnick this afternoon, so I'd better get at it. Mayhap I'll continue writing here later this eve. Perhaps not. Devil Bunny Needs A Ham. What? *grin*

ciao,

Finally got Aviatrix Icarus up, Sunday. Belnick and I worked like nannites to get it up and spinning, but the result was magical. He and I make a pretty kick-arse Sculpting team. He's got the mechanical know-how, and I've got the right-brained craziness to come up with the stunts in the first place. And cunning stunts they are, too ;).


Got to the U at 8am, loaded everyone else's stuff into trucks, gassed up, and got on the cockeyed route to Sheboygan. A:I is in a beautiful grotto, next to a flowering apple tree, and in full view of a bank of windows and the courtyard of one of UW:S's buildings. And then we ate, en masse, at a wonderful Mexican place called El Camino. Splitting off from the rest of the group, we spent the rest of the daylight hours watching the waves from a sand dune at Kohler-Andrae state park. All in all, a pretty romantic, wonderful day.

Poodle Hat came out today, I recommend it to all Weird Al fans. If for no other reason than to hear Al singing "Chop Suey" in the angry white boy polka.

Well, time to gather up the knitting and head back to the hospital. Whee! I'll have dad's sweater done in NO time, at this rate! :P

Someday soon, we'll start building the large glass kilns at the U. I'll keep y'all posted...

l8r,

Roller coaster day. Two hours in the hospital, for once *I* was the patient, and then went to a matinee of Matrix:Reloaded.
*whoa*.
Stay through the end of the credits. It's worth it ;)

Finished the base for Aviatrix Icarus yesterday, now I just have to get the set screws from Frank's and get the wings measured and sewn. The light at the end of the tunnel approacheth! And it's not a freight train, either. I never would have been able to create something like this without Belnick, I hope he realizes how much I dote on him...

We watched part of the lunar eclipse together, yesterday. Nothing says "I love you" like a heavenly body's reflected light being blotted and darkened by the earth. Yessir. Could it have been... a glitch in the matrix? *ducks as rotten tomatoes are hurled* Naaaaaah.

No Matrix spoilers, but I will say this... there's an in-joke for medieval history scholars. I laughed my ass off. I was alone in the theatre in doing so. It was a moment which made all the hours of studying and memorization worthwhile. And added yet another layer of meaning to the movie, as if it needed *ANY MORE LAYERS*. *grin*

Ah well. Back to the grind (literally), and hopefully I can give an update on A.I. once she's installed in the sculpture garden by the shore.

Peace Out.

As I dig for wild orchids
in the autumn fields,
it is the deeply-bedded root
that I desire,
not the flower.

Not a top ten, this time.
Just wanna put some text on the page, that sorta thing.

Welding like a madwoman to finish a piece for a Sculpture Invitational.

Thinking about gardening.

Trying to figure out where the last ten years have gone, and pondering what sort of antics to pull at my 10-year reunion. *grin*

Hope to update this more as stress level decreases.

L8r.
